Knead a soft dough with the flour, salt, sugar, and water.
Oil the dough and rest it for 20 minutes.
Roll the portions out very thinly and brush the surface with oil.
Gather the dough in pleats, roll it up, and coil it into a spiral.
Roll out the spirals and cook them in a pan with butter.
Crush the cooked parathas gently between your palms to open the layers.
💡 Tip: If the dough resists stretching, rest it for a few minutes and roll again.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with vegetable curry, lentil dal, or a yogurt dip.
